MrLundScience | Raising Monarchs - AI and Fall Nectar (Help The Monarch Butterfly) @MrLundScience | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 days ago.
During the 2023 migration, the Monarchs faced a major drought which impacted their population due to the lack of food sources (nectar) along the migratory paths. We should definitely celebrate that they made it over this hurdle, but we should also take it's reminder: Fall Migration Nectar is incredibly important to the population. But what if you're looking to expand your garden, but aren't exactly sure what plants are best to get the job done? That's where some Artificial Intelligence can lend a hand!
